pirants for the presidential nomina-
ton, while the active supporters of
neither seek to antagonize the other
candidate or his champions.

BOLD BEARS.

Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned near Harned's, Pleasant
district, Taylor county, last Friday,
by an old bear and two cubs making
their appearance and deliberately
killing dozen or more of VIM
Harned's sheep. The old bear has
been seen in that section for the last
two or three years and numerous
parties have been organized for the
destruction of bruin, but they al
ways fail to destroy it. After the
outrage of last Friday a more deter
mined effort was made to extermi-
nate the bear but resulted as hereto
fore, in a failure.

A five-year old child of a man
named Watson, living at Evansville,
Preston county, while playing about
the house was bitten in the wrist by
a large copperhead snake. The
snake fastened its fangs so deeply in
the child's wrist that the reptile
could not free itself, but hung to the
little ones wrist until the large fam
lily dog laid hold of the snake and
tore it loose, and shook the life out
of it. The child was severely bitten
and it's recovery is considered an
